Cricket pads - which pad for which leg

Originally posted by W.G. I think you need to check the definition of buckle as I'm sure the plastic fastening you pass the strap through isn't one.

Strange that ???

It's great how someone as senior as yourself has taken quite a straightforward thread and plunged it into new depths of sledging with your arrogance.

I somehow doubt you would notice the difference....

In actual fact, I'm not even sure you've given a single constructive answer to the question being posed here on this thread. The closest you've come is advice that would have only been relevant 20-50 years ago.

If I was you, I'd get that shoe whitener stuff of yours, enjoy the garden sunshine and see to your beloved pre-historic pads.....and have a think about it.....

Velcro was invented in 1941 some years before you were born W.G

A long time after, 80's or 90's

Yes BUT read his post.

Originally posted by MP12 Sounds like you have something against W.G! Not thats there anything wrong with that, it okay to express your thoughts and opinions, I was just saying it as an observation.

One of many MP12, it's an age thing - disrespect your elders at all costs and all that jazz.  I'm too thick skinned, having seen it all before and worse, to let a couple of trolls get to me.

Wasn't aimed at you Tev, but if the cap fits.............

Wrong about what exactly?

*cough* anyway back to the pads, Mine are fairly easy to work out left and right as they are

A) Aeros and you can tell which pad is which by looking at them and

B) they have "right" and "left" printed inside of them for people as simple as myself =p. However if I was woorking for Aero i'd be tempted to print "right" on the left pad and vice versa as a bit of fun =p.

The Aero pads are an excellent piece of innovation and design, they're different shapes for different legs aren't they?

14 posts, all having a dig at me, from a poster who seems to have been 'created' for such a purpose - and I'm the troll

I could also say a paranoid troll but it seems you may have also been afflicted by senile dementia.

Clearly, can now see how you got to your post count. Trolled your way through many threads no doubt.

What exactly do you know about legguards ? No point asking you about Aero's....you probably think it's a chocolate bar that was yet to be invented right ???

I know only numpties call them legguards (sic).  {is that French?}

Never worn Aero pads so I have no opinion on them.

OMG you obviously wear your pads with the buckle inside....W.G you are right.

No, I wear my pads with the buckle on the outside and straps into the inside. I use Test Match LegGuards Sommers Triple XXX.

I do know quite a bit about cricket actually and a few cricketeers that you might know about as well
